Understanding disruption in the social contract between the medical profession and society in India
A harmonious relationship between the medical profession and the society it serves is essential for any country’s health system to fulfill its mandate. Society offers trust, respect, authority, and professional autonomy to doctors, and in return, expects doctors to provide good care and prioritize people’s welfare. However, in many parts of the world, we observe growing dissatisfaction, increasingly expressed violently, with the medical professio…
Situating Santhals within the Rubric of Adivasi Identity
The present paper is an attempt to trace the development of Adivasi identity in India and the growing agitation by the Santhals to move beyond it by projecting their Santhalness. There have been persistent attempts by the Santhal intelligentsia in the Twenty-first century to place their language, religion, historical events and cultural practices outside the rubric of Adivasi umbrella. This is further accelerated by the recognition of Santhali la…
Territorial identity and boundary negotiations among Santhals
Santhals are the third-largest tribal community in India with a population of nearly 6.5 million. They are by far the largest tribal community in the Chhotanagpur region.

The present study, conducted via in-depth interviews of the region’s tribal intellectuals, is an attempt to synthesise the narratives of territorialit…

The classical period was predominantly concerned with demarcating the ideal boundary for achieving a stable geopolitical order. This changed during the latter part of the 20th century when scholars began contemplating the role of boundary as a social force. Postmodern understanding of boundaries concerned itself with q…
Dialectics of homophily in the formation of friendship groups in Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India
Friendship choice in university campuses has persisted as a perennial theme in social psychology.

Present work, conducted in Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India is an addition to this burgeoning field of literature. This article attempts to distil the role of interaction in the formation of friendship, highlig…
